Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
I believe this might be a bug.
In this example I try to load a snackbar into a container using the `viewContainerRef` config.
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-material-tooltip-in-container
#### What is the expected behavior?
The snackbar should align itself to the viewContainerRef that is provided.
#### What is the current behavior?
But the `_createOverlay` function does not look at this config and always creates the overlay using the `GlobalPositionStrategy` instead of `ConnectedPositionStrategy`.
There could be another root cause, and if there is please let me know.
#### What are the steps to reproduce?
I have provided a stackblitz above.
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
There is a hand full of times i would like to load the snackbar in a container.
One in particular is the div has been maximized to full screen (so the window is not visible).
Therefore the snackbar is not visible.
#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
latest.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and the `_createOverlay` entry point. Trace how the snackbar's `viewContainerRef` configuration is handled versus the global and connected position strategies, then verify that a snackbar is visible and aligned inside a full-screen overlay container.
